Wheaton converted 13 of 15 clears, while Gordon finished 13 of 19. The Lyons outshot the Fighting Scots, 24-9, and converted one of five free position shots.

Both teams swapped goals throughout the opening minutes of the first half before Cohen's strike at 18:59 initiated a 7-0 run spanning both halves, which provided the Lyons with the lead for good.

Grinnell halted the Lyons' run with back-to-back tallies at 25:25 and 24:09 in the second stanza before Wheaton answered with three consecutive markers to seal the win.

The Lyons and Fighting Scots have met 15 times since their first meeting in 1998 and tonight's victory was Wheaton's 12th against Gordon. Last season, Gordon defeated Wheaton in Norton, Mass. 10-9. The Lyons' last win against Gordon prior to this evening occurred in 2011 when Wheaton claimed a 17-9 victory at home.

Both teams return to action on Saturday, April 5 as Wheaton (6-5) travels to Emerson College for an 11 a.m. start, while Gordon (8-2) visits Endicott College for a 12 p.m. opening draw.
